There are three stages of chicken raising, and each stage has different problems that need attention. Next, I will tell everyone about the three important stages of broiler breeding.
During this period, Salmonellosis and Colibacillosis are mainly controlled. The mortality rate is generally 2%-3%, accounting for about 30% of the total deaths in the whole period. The chicks should be imported from a formal and well-conditioned hatchery; improve the brooding conditions, switch to a heater for heating, reduce dust; maintain a suitable temperature and humidity, and the temperature should not fluctuate; medication should be used in a timely manner, and the selection of drugs should be appropriate. At the same time, some nutritional additives, such as glucose, electrolytes, vitamins, etc., should be added to improve disease resistance of chickens. Generally, 3-5 days of medication can greatly reduce mortality.
Mainly control coccidiosis (floor culture), mycoplasmosis and colibacillosis, and pay close attention to infectious bursal disease. The mortality rate is generally around 3%, accounting for about 35% of the total number of deaths in the whole period. The conditions of the chicken house should be improved, ventilation should be increased (to ensure the temperature as a prerequisite), temperature should be controlled, litter should be kept dry, and the environment and flock should be disinfected frequently; some anti-stress and immune-enhancing drugs should be given before immunization and grouping. Try to arrange it at night to reduce stress.
Mainly control colibacillosis, atypical Newcastle disease and mixed infections. Mortality generally accounts for 3% to 4%, accounting for about 35% of the total deaths in the whole period. The environment of the chicken house should be improved, ventilation should be increased, frequent disinfection, 2-3 kinds of disinfectants can be used alternately, but it should be noted that environmental disinfection cannot be carried out 2 days before and after immunization. Do a good job in the pre- and mid-term Newcastle disease immunization work, the procedures are reasonable, the method is appropriate, and the immunization is reliable. Preventive medication. At this time, the medication should be used in combination with antibacterial drugs and antiviral drugs. Feed the chickens with probiotics, adjust the internal environment of the digestive tract, restore the balance of the flora, and enhance the body's immunity.
Every stage of raising chickens is not easy, and farmers need to observe the status of the chickens every day. An automated chicken cage system is recommended here. Centralized chicken raising is convenient for management, so that farmers can observe the status of chickens more conveniently, and help farmers better raise chickens.
With the improvement of modern people's living standards, the demand for eggs and chicken market has also increased a lot, and many users want to join the chicken-raising army in order to increase their profits. But for novice farmers, before raising chickens, they must learn and prepare all the aspects needed to raise chickens.
Automated poultry farming equipment manufacturers have shared with you the points that need to be paid attention to when raising chickens, hoping to help farmers.
With the improvement of people's living standards, people's pursuit of chicken quality has become higher and higher. Many people want to join the aquaculture industry, so what needs to be done for novice farmers?
Buy land
Chickens are prone to stress reactions, so the chicken house must be built in a city away from the hustle and bustle, but remember not to choose a place that is too far from the city and inconvenient transportation.
The structure needed to build the chicken coop
A good chicken house system is very important to your poultry farming business. A good chicken house system not only protects your chickens from danger, but also increases your profits in the poultry industry. Each poultry house system is classified according to management system, scale and purpose.
Purchasing chicken cages is a very important business, because many influencing factors directly depend on the size, direction, strength and layout of chicken coops. Before buying a chicken cage, take appropriate measurements and analyze your poultry size and budget. According to the different breeding species, chicken cages are mainly divided into layer cages, baby chick cages, broiler cages, and breeder cages.
Buy chicks
Choosing day-old chicks to start your poultry business is a perfect decision. Before you buy these chicks, find a reliable hatchery where you can get healthy chicks. And it won't cost you too much.
Other items and accessories
There are also some other poultry cage accessories, such as drinking fountains, feeding systems, manure removal systems, egg collection systems, egg incubators, etc.
Regarding the use of chicken battery breeding equipment. Presumably many farmers know that good breeding equipment will affect the growth and development of chickens. So we need to use good quality equipment to raise chickens.
When we use cascading brooding equipment to raise young chicks. Pay attention to the scientific breeding of chicks. Feed regularly and quantitatively. Also pay attention to the disinfection and cleaning of the cage equipment in the chicken house. Clean food troughs and drinking fountains regularly. The chicken house should also be disinfected regularly, which is good for the growth and development of the chicks. The choice of cage is very important. When choosing a cage, choose a regular chicken cage manufacturer. Some automated equipment is also very convenient. Mechanical automated farming can save a lot of costs. Improve the efficiency of farmers.
If you want to use chicken cages for brooding, you must do the following: Thoroughly rinse the chicks before brooding, disinfect the brooding room and chicken cages, food troughs, drinking fountains, etc. Close doors and windows, disinfect each layer space with 28 ml formalin + 14 g potassium permanganate, steam at 200 degrees for 24 to 48 hours, open the window for more than 12 hours after the fumigation is completed, and then seal it for use. When adjusting the temperature and humidity, the brooding room temperature and humidity should be stable and uniform, and the height should be appropriate, and the temperature can be gradually lowered as the age increases, and the fluctuations of high and low should not be avoided.
At present, with the rapid development of the breeding industry, chicken users have adopted advanced chicken breeding equipment, such as chicken farm feeders, which are automated machinery, which can save a lot of manpower. The following is the daily maintenance of broiler chickens. The equipment manufacturer tells us about it.
1. Regularly check whether each fastening part of the feeder is loose, and if there is any looseness, fasten it in time to ensure the safe operation of the feeder. 2. Regularly clean the dust on the frame and keep all parts of the feeder clean. 3. Add lubricating oil to the transmission chain and other transmission parts regularly, so that they can run freely, reduce wear and tear, and extend the life of use.
In recent years, the breeding industry has been very developed, especially the improvement of people's living standards, which have high requirements for many. In particular, the demand for meat has increased more than before. So it drives the development of the chicken market. The current breeding methods adopted by the chicken industry are broiler cages, but one thing to be careful when using is to prevent them from rusting.
At present, most of the broiler cages we use are made of metal. Since they are made of metal, rust is bound to occur. If the daily maintenance is improper, they will become more corrosive. The chickens are bred inside, so the chickens are in physical contact with the broiler cage at any time. If the skin of the chicken touches the rusty part, it is not necessarily a good thing.
If you want to say the difference between cage and net farming, if you say that the feces are separated from the chickens to reduce pollution, there is actually no difference. However, the chicken house with the same price is larger than the net cage, which can reduce the investment in the chicken house. The second is that the labor intensity of caged cages is not less than that of net cages. Like daily convenience and ventilation, it is more difficult to control temperature and ventilation in cages than in flat cages, because temperature differences between layers are inevitable.
How to prevent the lack of vitamin A in layer cages? Farmers should pay attention to the vitamin supplement of chickens. The following are some key points to prevent and treat vitamin A deficiency.
Vitamin A is necessary for poultry growth, vision and mucosal integrity, especially to protect the health of mucosal epithelial cells in the respiratory tract, upper digestive tract and urinary tract. Vitamin A can be synthesized from carotene in the body.
Symptoms: There are small white pustules in the nasal cavity, oral cavity, esophagus and pharynx, which can extend to the sac. Subsequently, small ulcers formed on the mucosa, surrounded by inflammatory products.
It is not conducive to the health of chickens to raise chickens if they are deficient in vitamin A. Here are some prevention methods.
Prevention: Pay attention to the coordination of feed. The diet should be supplemented with a diet rich in vitamin A and carotene. For sick adult hens, each chicken is fed a quarter spoon of cod liver oil 3 times a day. Abdominal lesions are cleaned with 3% boric acid solution once a day, and the effect is good.
The above is the method to realize and prevent the lack of vitamin A in chickens shared by the supplier of automated poultry breeding equipment. Farmers can prevent vitamin A deficiency in chickens through the above methods.
Large chicken farms are closed for management. The purpose of building closed chicken coops is to reduce the infection of diseases. The site selection is relatively spacious and there is no obstacle of trees and lawns. There are many birds and beasts in trees and lawns, which are easy to bring viruses, which is not conducive to the closed management of chicken farms.
The construction of chicken coops must first follow the principle of reasonable planning. Large-scale chicken farms are built for the purpose of saving labor. The chicken farms must be constructed reasonably so that workers can obtain the tools and automatic poultry farming equipment needed for work as quickly as possible. The egg room must be placed at the egg outlet of the chicken coop, and the feed room must be close to the feeding tower. The dryer must be built at the tail of a large chicken farm, and the manure sweeper can directly send the chicken manure to the vicinity of the dryer. In short, the most important thing is to work conveniently, reduce the labor of workers, and achieve the purpose of saving labor.
The interior of a large chicken farm is different from that of an ordinary chicken farm. Ordinary chicken farms need to leave a manure passage of about 2 meters to facilitate the work of the heavy manure removal machine of the cycloid needle. However, large chicken farms must use flat belt manure removers, also known as crawler manure removers and conveyor belt manure removers, with different names but the same items. The flat belt manure cleaner does not need a manure channel, only a horizontal manure channel is dug at the tail of the sweeper, which is convenient for the manure cleaner to directly take out the chicken manure.
Large automatic chicken farms do not need windows. Ventilation and light are given artificially. However, the air inlet needs to be left, and the air inlet must be set according to the number of chickens and the power of the blower. The requirements for blowers and water curtains are very high. It is necessary to correctly calculate the number of blowers and the area of the water curtain. Because large chicken farms have a large investment, they can save money without the necessary expenses.
The above is the suggestions for farmers to build large-scale automated farms. I hope that the ideas mentioned in the article can be helpful to farmers.
What should I pay attention to when using layer cages to raise chickens in spring? Presumably many farmers have such troubles. Spring is a season when everything is revived. All creatures are full of vitality. So in this season, what should our professional chicken farmers pay attention to?
In spring, laying hens raised in poultry farming equipment enter the peak of egg production. To achieve good economic benefits, attention must be paid to timely adjustment of the nutritional components of the chicken feed to ensure the perfection and adequacy of various nutrients in the diet. Practice has proved that temperature is closely related to the feed intake of chickens, and like all poultry, chickens are "fed for energy". Therefore, the adjustment of chicken feed composition must follow the following principles: the temperature in spring gradually rises, if you continue to feed the high-energy feed during the winter period, the weight of the laying hens will increase, thereby affecting the egg production rate. The scientific approach is to reduce the proportion of corn and other grain feeds in the diet.
The hen consumes more protein during the laying period, and its consumption is related to the egg production rate of the chicken, so the protein raw materials in the chicken feed should be increased according to the increase of the chicken egg production rate. The method is to appropriately add high-quality fish meal, soybean cake, etc. to the diet, and add as little meal as possible when the cost allows.
When hens lay their eggs, they need more calcium. For example, if the chicken feed lacks calcium, the quality of the eggshells will be affected, which will increase the number of damaged eggs. In severe cases, the chickens will lay soft-shelled eggs and shellless eggs. Phosphorus deficiency and calcium deficiency can also cause discomfort in laying hens, such as pecking feathers, anus pecking, egg pecking and other pica. Therefore, once it is found that the laying hens have indigestion, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc., the reasons should be investigated and the content of mineral additives in the diet should be increased accordingly.
Vitamin supplements for chickens raised in poultry farming equipment. Especially vitamin D, when the diet is lacking for a long time, the egg production of laying hens will decrease, the eggshell will become soft and thin, and the absorption of calcium will be seriously affected. When chickens lay more eggs, their vitamin consumption also increases, so you can feed some green fodder appropriately, and increase the amount of multivitamins in chicken feed at the same time.
We all know that large-scale farms use poultry farming equipment to raise laying hens and broilers. The photoperiod refers to the provision of lighting in the chicken house for a certain period of time to allow the chickens to eat, drink and move. This period is the bright period (L); then turn off the lights or completely darken the house to make the house dark and allow the chickens to rest State, this period of time is the dark period (D). The bright and dark periods appear alternately, which can constitute different light cycles.
1. Natural light cycle and unnatural light cycle. If a 24-hour light cycle is implemented in the chicken house, which is the same as the day and night time, it is called a natural light cycle; if the chicken house implements a light cycle longer or shorter than 24h, then Known as the unnatural light cycle, this light cycle can only be carried out under fully artificial lighting conditions.
2. Continuous illumination and intermittent illumination. If there is only one bright period and one dark period in a light cycle, it is called continuous light cycle, such as 16L:8D or 8L:16D, this light cycle is called continuous light for short; if it is in one light cycle There are two or more light and dark periods, which are called intermittent lighting cycles, such as 8L:5D:4L: 7D, and 1L:2D or 2L:2D light and dark cycle lighting, which are all called intermittent lighting methods.
3. Light time The light time of the chicken is calculated in hours or minutes. The sum of the light in the bright period in a light cycle is the light time. In the actual calculation of the chicken flock's light time, because the natural light cycle is mostly used, it can be expressed by the sum of the natural light and artificial light given to the chickens continuously or intermittently throughout the day and night. Due to the continuous changes in the number of hours of sunshine during the year, the chicken farms should formulate the lighting system according to the actual situation when formulating the lighting system. In addition, the light time is affected by the morning light and the afterglow at dusk. In order to make the light management more accurate, the actual light time should be added 30min according to the sunshine time.
The breeding equipment of laying hens has also undergone tremendous changes along with the development of the general situation of animal husbandry. The cascading layer cage mode has been widely recognized by the majority of layer farms. How to buy battery layer cages.
The complete set of automatic equipment for layered layer cage breeding is the equipment for large-scale, intensive and automatic layer breeding at home and abroad. It has the following characteristics:
(1) Small footprint, high space utilization, and easy realization of intensive and large-scale breeding.
(2) The layered cleaning and natural air drying of chicken manure greatly reduce the moisture of chicken manure, the utilization rate of chicken manure is high, and the pollution to the environment is minimal.
(3) Fully realize fully automatic control, which greatly reduces the number of operators, reduces labor intensity, and improves labor productivity.
(4) The use of fully enclosed farming is beneficial to the prevention of infectious diseases in chickens.
Multi-layer stacked layer cage breeding complete set of automatic equipment, cage size has many standards. Considering that the chicken flock has sufficient space for movement, the average cage bed area for each chicken is 450cm2. Among them, there are more than 5-6 chickens in a single cage. The cage size is 600rm (depth) x 450cm (width) x 430cm (height) ).
The size of the cage is determined. In the future, the planning of the bottom net of the chicken cage is a very important issue. It must satisfy the requirements of comfortable chicken walking, smooth egg rolling, low broken egg rate, and low dirty egg rate. This requires the density of the grid to be appropriate, the strength and elasticity of the bottom grid to be appropriate, and the angle of the roll to be reasonable. The rolling angle is 90, and the egg breaking rate is less than 0.5%. The bottom net is made of high-strength, high-elasticity high-quality materials, which fully meets the high-performance technical requirements.
